@solarpunkgirls: Take action now, before it is too late. Foreign entities are purchasing Canadian soil for data centers, packaging this exploitation as “prosperity and industry.” These private sector deals with the government have been highly secretive and pushed through at an alarming rate without democratic process, community involvement or proper safeguarding. If we do not act now, this infrastructure will be built across Alberta and it will devastate local communities and sensitive natural habitats. Your voice matters.🌱 📢 WHAT YOU CAN DO 📢 👉Sign House of Commons petitions (3 of them) 👉Send letters to the government ([email protected]) 👉Go follow @littletownbigdata to join in the fight against data centers ✍️ INFORMATION FROM PETITIONS: - Data centres are extreme polluters (gas, water, heat, noise, light) and are devastating to the local habitat and environment - Government promotion of data centres without federal protections or involvement of appropriate stakeholders (local communities, environmentalist groups, policymakers) - Data centres increase pressure drastically on already stressed infrastructure - Government has avoided critical dialog and has not consulted Indigenous communities - Government has ignored commitments to green initiatives - Government has accepted short-term economic benefit over long-term stability (jobs, environment, fiscal responsibility for inevitable problems associated with data centres) - Government has undermined Canada’s sovereignty by committing to foreign entities and products See more info: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7427 https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7550 https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7553 🔗 www.littletownbigdata.com #canada #alberta #albertacanada #datacenter #datacenters
